The best albums of all time, and sure I am missing some, and sure the order is really hard to know: ( I Probably don't know a lot of albums, but those who mention some I did know so I guess I know enough). Forever Changes - Love 60s Buffalo Springfield Again - Buffalo Springfield 60s Live Rust Concert - Neil Young 70s Decade - Neil Young 70s Tim - The Replacements 80s The 2023 remixed album is so great Let it Be - The Replacements 80s Pleased to Meet Me - The Replacements 80s Don't Tell a Soul - The Replacements 80s Astral Weeks - Van Morrison 60s Groundbreaking. Moon Dance - Van Morrison 70s Moments - Boz Scaggs 70s Unknown but so much better than Silk Degrees. And his second album has an unbelievably greatest version of "Loan Me A Dime" with D Allman. This Years Model - Elvis Costello and the Attractions 70s Get Happy! Elvis C and the Attractions 70s Heat Treatment - Graham Parker and the Rumour 70s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie 70s Revolver - The Beatles 60s On every album, I'm a Lennon lover. There are so many songs by Paul that I don't like (yes I know who contributed what for most any song) that the Beatles albums do not stand as tall as for the average Beatle fan. Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan 60s The Doors - The Doors 60s Maybe the best debut? I am not really into their other records. Best of the Smiths Part I - The Smiths 90s I like them a lot but just don't know each album that well. The X Album - Lloyd Cole 90s Where you Been - Dinosaur Jr 90s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Wilco 2001 Pet Sounds - Beach Boys 60s Are you Experienced - Jimi Hendrix 60s Banana album - Velvet Underground and Nico 60s Never Mind the Bollocks - The Sex Pistols 70s Avalon - Roxy Music 80s Eponymous - R.E.M. 80s Aliens Lanes - Guided By Voices 90s Talk Talk Talk - The Psychedelic Furs 80s A Hard Days Night - The Beatles 60s Not a bad song. Why so low? My Aim is True - Elvis Costello 70s Shazam - The Move 60s I'm Still in Love with You - Al Green 70s Music from Big Pink - The Band 60s The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle - Bruce Springsteen 70s Happy Trails - Quicksilver Messenger Service 60s Zuma - Neil Young 70s I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One - Yo la Tengo 90s My Favorite Things - John Coltrane 60s Kind of Blue - Miles Davis 50s Child is the Father to Man - Blood Sweat and Tears 70s Doolittle - The Pixies 80s Core - Stone Temple Pilots 90s Pretenders - The Pretenders 70s Highway 61 Revisited - Dylan 60s Sea Change - Beck 2002 Odelay - Beck 90s Marshal Crenshaw - "Eponymous" 70s My Maudlin Career - Camera Obscura 2009 Viva Hate - Morrissey 90s Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea - PJ Harvey 2000 Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen 80s His best. I sort of feel I like about 2 songs per album, and usually not the anthems. Warehouse: Songs and Stories - Hüsker Dü 80s So - Peter Gabriel 80s Californication - RHCP 90s (this is a questionable pick, not sure why?) Sky Blue Sky - Wilco 2007 14 songs - Paul Westerberg 90s Alien Lanes - Guided by Voices This is great! Blue Oyster Cult - debut Classical: many albums Jazz: Some albums by John Coltrane Blue Train, A Love Supreme, My Favorite Things.
My least favorite albums of all time that were very popular. This doesn't mean I hate them. I really mean this, cross my heart: Abbey Road - The Beatles - The worst Beatles album and George Martin disliked it too. The White Album is not all that good but better. Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones. I don't get this. Songs are OK, none are great. OK Computer - Radiohead The Wall - Pink Floyd Their worst album. Best music in a movie. Much better than The Last Waltz and better than the Beatles' "Hard Day's night" is Neil Young's "Live Rust". Neil Young's "Live Rust" does his hits and some better versions of a few songs than the originals. Movies with good soundtracks: I haven't about this before, so I'll say: A Bronx Tale, Almost Famous Not really that good: Pulp Fiction. I like Lonesome Town, Girl You'll be a woman soon, Misirlou, Lets Stay Together but hate Flowers on the Wall and Son of A Preacher Man is not a good Dusty Springfield song.
Also interesting to see some variance in rating between years. There’s definitely a few years where had the album come out a few months earlier or later it’d buried.
@@si8723 dude you're literally repeating their behavior rn, stop placing one music above the other and thinking there's an objective "better than your music", especially if you're talking about the other genre, you just cannot compare the different genres anyhow, that's not how it works
I noticed the transition, too. But, to be honest, it made me think that jazz is a music to explore boundaries of creativity, while pop is Music to be sold, nothing more.
I think the 90s and 2000s are more stacked tbh. Edit: I still stand by most of what I said but I like the 70s more than I used to. Tago Mago, Another Green World, Dark Side Of The Moon and Unknown Pleasures are some of my all time favorite albums ever
@@user-wx2ek3uv1i Kid A, Vespertine, Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven!, Deathconsciousness, Velocity Design Comfort, Every Boris Album that came out that decade, The Ape of Naples, Toxicity, In Rainbows, Merriweather Post Pavilion, drukqs, Madvillainy, The Glow Pt. 2, Discovery, The College Dropout, A Promise and The Black Parade show how good of a decade the 2000s was. The 70s were great but it’s the most overrated decade for music imo
@@x.pescobard3216 That's fair but my main problem with the 00s is that all the good albums are completely unrelated. Every other era had entire genres scenes and movements worth of great music, but in the 21st century apart from rap and some tiny niche microgenres all the great music is just a selected few from a ton of different genres scenes you can't really point to any trend or anything that says "wow that was a great time for X"
This really shows how insanely innovative the late 1960s were for music. Edit: Some people in the replies said that I overstated the musical influence of the late 1960s due to the flaws in the RYM algorithm. Since many RYM users don’t listen to old music, it’s not a perfect choice for finding a general consensus on albums released before the late 1960s. I agree with this sentiment to some extent, as I recently discovered some much earlier songs that I enjoy (albums weren’t very popular back then), such as Guitar Boogie by Arthur Smith from 1945, That’s All Right by Arthur Crudup from 1947, and Dust My Broom by Elmore James from 1952. However, it is worth noting that the late 1960s was a very powerful time for music. It gave us Pet Sounds, The Velvet Underground & Nico, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles (aka The White Album), Abbey Road, and In The Court of the Crimson King. Each of these make strong contenders for the greatest album ever made. Admittedly though, I may have drawn the wrong conclusion from the sudden musical shift in the middle of the video. Just wanted to clear that up.
@@xeroxparc HAHAHAHA definitely had an affect. That whole period of time was a massive shift in culture in general. Drugs, wars, post-WW2, technology going crazy, kinda wish I was alive to see how big of a shift it was.
Idk man I think the drums on ICCK are so terribly balanced within every track, so dull and lacking dynamics. That's not to say that in terms of composition it's not one of the greatest but god damn the drums are so bad especially in light of how amazing Michael Giles' playing was
Kinda sad that they didn't use Tomorrow Never Knows though, or I'm Only Sleeping or even Eleanor Rigby. Yellow Submarine is the one song of Revolver that doesn't really fit with the heavy psychedelia of the rest of the album.
king crimson doesn't have a single masterpiece album. they have great albums like Larks' Tongues and Wake of Poseidon, but none of them are masterpieces on the same level as other Prog bands like Genesis and Yes
#5 with 53000 ratings and 3.96/5 average behind Talk Talk, Slint and A Tribe Called Quest. Loveless is an album that has a greater influential impact on the new generations (indie rock/pop), compared to Nirvana... and after all, the amount of people from the new generations who gravitate to music sites is greater than generations of the 80s or 90s.
Im a huge MBV fan but we all literally have to agree that never mind was the most influential album of the whole 90s, gave the whole fuckin sound to a lot of bands even still
the ratings are unexpected in that they slightly differ from the typical best-of lists you might see on rolling stone or any other music publication, but once you listen to the albums at the top you realize why they're there.
Still strange that this video defines an acoustic folk album as the best of 2013 and 2018, between other good music created in that years,but Ichiko has a very special vibe that now I recently discovered, some songs are like the "pure and raw" state of music, recorded outside of a study, in front of a street, feels like she is at your side while you Walk around in the park of your neighborhood, something unique and wonderful, thanks to this video for let me discover a such a wonderful artist
@beepboop What do you mean it's only been decent post 1930? Do you disqualify musical quality because of elitism? Or do you really not think it's good?
The 60s. Not only were Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton all active at that time, they were in the same fucking band. And that's just for starters.
I love how MBDTF and In The Court Of The Crimson King were both chosen, and also how Power (the sample) and 21st Century Schizoid Man (the original) were the songs playing for their respective album.
Most of Kanye's music is a masterclass in using samples to convey a message and that 21st Century Schizoid Man sample is one of my favourite of all time. It's really hard for me to decide which one's better
8:15 i'd like to mention that this is the wrong album version and one that was made in 2011 by will toledo in his college dorm. the 2018 version is a recreation with better quality and instrumentals / vocals / everything
Took a history of rock and roll class in university and honestly learning about these albums/people is an amazing experience, the transition to rock from jazz is honestly insane
King Crimson appearing 3 times is such a W... especially on their three greatest albums. I really didn't expect to see them because they're often underrated but it's so great that they are here.
@@spaghettisauce445 It’s the best album of every year so it’s completely fair for Red and Discipline to be there. A lot of great albums came out in 1969 so I agree that it is disputable that it is the best of that year.
@@michaelmalone7231 I think he ranks higher than both (although I know Adele's album was in 2015, not 2016). But Danny Brown ranks higher, even if just by a little
Artists with multiple albums: 📌4 albums: John Coltrane 📌3 albums: King Crimson Pink Floyd Radiohead 📌2 albums: Black Sabbath Clifford Brown and Max Roach Duke Ellington and His Orchestra Ichiko Aoba Kendrick Lamar Sweet Trip The Cure Tyler, the Creator And also a couple of philharmonics/orchestras with multiple albums (not to mention "various artists"). Surprising to see Miles Davis, The Beatles, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Metallica, The Smiths, Björk, Sufjan Stevens and Kanye West with "only" one album. Even more surprising to see all these artists missing: Led Zeppelin, The Who, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana, Queen, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Fleetwood Mac, U2, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Elton John, Eagles, AC/DC, Muse, Rush, Arctic Monkeys, Neil Young, Arcade Fire, Genesis, RHCP, Nick Drake, Simon & Garfunkel, The Doors, Tame Impala, Oasis, Joni Mitchell, Bon Iver, Gorillaz, Coldplay, Frank Ocean, Lana del Rey, Pixies, Talk Talk, The Clash, The Beach Boys, The Smashing Pumpkins, Van Morrison, Daft Punk, Fiona Apple, Dire Straits, PJ Harvey, John Lennon, LCD Soundsystem, Leonard Cohen, Swans, Vampire Weekend, Fleet Foxes, Green Day, Lorde and Animal Collective. Master of Reality by Black Sabbath over Led Zeppelin IV and Who's Next (The Who) really surprised me. Was also expecting "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea".
yeah, while all the artists you mentioned are great, it should be noted that pretty much all of them are rated quite highly on the website. a lot of them have albums (in some cases quite a few albums) that maybe came 2nd or 3rd place for certain years. it's of course unfortunate to have to pin a bunch of great albums and artists together for certain years because it'd be nice to give them all their flowers, but that's just the result of doing a best album of each year list. i recommend anyone who feels like this list was lacking in any way to actually check out the website and scroll through the charts for each year, and you'll likely be a lot more satisfied.
@@lostinpictures509 Basically every AM album is great. SIaS was meh, and The Car is too new, we'll see how it ages. Lorde had really good chances with Melodrama, some chance with PH. I dig SP, but it's not an acclaim album or anything. The choices I made are based on my experience visiting sites such as the one used for the video, plus an idea of how many people listen to the artists. That's why I said that your comment was audacious, because I know for a fact that several of these artists albums are ranked Top10, sometimes even Top5 for the years they were released. So to assert that they would be lucky to be Top50 on their respective year is ridiculous. Exuma and Wipers are artists that I could see *not* cracking Top50.
everyone’s talking about the transition from jazz to yellow submarine, but i think the transition from heaven or las vegas to my bloody valentine’s loveless deserves more attention too 5:55
@@LWsquidward true, but heaven or las vegas is very easy to listen to; it’s like eye candy. meanwhile, my bloody valentine is the complete opposite of it.
@@WebtoonManalthough my bloody valentine definitely took inspiration from cocteau twins as the dream pop / shoegazing scenes were very intermingled, it’s just that those two songs are kind of the opposite extremities of the styles

The Beatles, but also Hendrix, The Doors, The Band, Cream, Sly & The Family Stone, The Who, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, Beach Boys, and so so many more. It’s unreal to think how much music grew in those five years.
@@tidalphantom0277 you can't compare alt rock creation to what the Beatles did, Beatles literally popularized art rock, and everything that came later, including the velvet underground, even if indirectly
Very happy to see the three best King Crimson albums on here. As well as Pink Floyd, The Smiths, and Radiohead's best work. I feel very validated that I agree with 95% of this list.
I know these lists have to be by necessity a subjective choice. The absence of Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, Bob Dylan seems to be a bit of a mistake. I have admired Coltrane most of my life but to in effect have 4 years in a row in this list is a bit excessive. I also feel that to have King Crimson,Duke Ellington Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath in multiple times would raise some eyebrows. One last beef Glen Miller surely didn’t have the most influential swing LP!
I am surprised at the lack of names such as Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin but also at the inclusion of names like Grouper and Have A Nice Life Solid list, overall
@@jeanoltt just so happens that the "mainstream generic rap" is also fucking amazing? whats ur point. rym users will try to be different, of course, but when it comes to records like those, they would be crucified if they weren't rated highly.
A list that completely surprised me (in a positive way). I don't agree with all the choices (which is absolutely normal) but it's a consistent and high-quality list. There are some albums that I don't know at all and others that I only know "in passing", but the mere 5 seconds that I listened to these albums "opened my appetite" to listen to them. Highlight that my favorite band (Pink Floyd) is represented with 3 albums, including the superlative "animals" which is sometimes a little undervalued in comparison to "wish you were here", "the wall" and "dark side of the moon". It is also worth noting that the "kings" of progressive rock King Crimson are equally represented with 3 albums. And also Radiohead, also with 3 albums. Finally, I highlight Stevie Wonder's album "songs in the key of life", which is, in my opinion, the best double album in the history of pop/rock music.
@@Henryduckfan63 I wouldn’t say that- I suppose it depends how we define “mainstream”. As a younger person who listens to almost exclusively jazz, most responses are either people going “yeah I like *x thing that is barely jazz* a lot myself” (nothing against those people but… pat methaney?) or “huh. Yeah I don’t really know much about it.” It’s generally regarded as a mysterious and somewhat classy genre if not one undestood by most people nowadays.
My opinion (which is objectively correct in every way, obviously): 1956: Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley 1961: Robert Johnson - King of the Delta Blues Singers 1962: Ray Charles - Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music 1965: Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited 1967: The Beatles - Sgt.

@@HEDGD11 some of it’s okay, but a lot of it is hot garbage Also I put the Eminem Show as the best of 2002, a rap album. I also agree with To Pimp a Butterfly and Igor being the best albums of 2015 and 2019 respectively
I respect your opinion, but I'd like to add that Purple Rain would have been Number One for 84 on RYM if it wasn't a "Soundtrack" album since those are weighted against Studio Albums.

Oh wow thank you for this amazing video! I got so many good recommendations from it. It's overwhelming. It's gonna take me a while to catch up on these, especially the 70s, 90s, and 2000s ones. Ants From Up There is also amazing and I never heard of it before.
As of 15/08/23, the list has changed quite a bit. Here are the new #1 best albums for some of those years. (No longer adding from 1909 - 1950) 1968 > Beatles - The White Album (overtaken Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland) *1971 > Marvin Gaye - What's Going On (overtaken Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV)* 1998 > Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Airplane Over the Sea (overtaken Outkast - Aquemini) *2002 > The Fire This Time (overtaken Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights)* 2013 > Kanye West - Yeezus (overtaken Ichiko Aoba - 0) 2014 > Swans - To be Kind (overtaken Freddie Gibbs - Piñata) *2016 > Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition (overtaken Frank Ocean - Blonde again)* 2021 > JPEGMAFIA - LP! (overtaken Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert)
i think attrocity exhibition is more good i know blonde reach to your emotion but atrocity attach to your experience and how danny can rap on any sound
2013 honestly should’ve been Daft Punks, Random Access Memories. Exquisitely produced original music (something they didnt do much before as a lot of what they did was sampling), working with some of the best around, Nile Rodgers, Todd Edwards, Giorgio Moroder, Julian Casablancas, Pharrell Williams and a few more i wish i could remember off the top of my head.
Solid choice. That album made my year. One of my favorite things about this list is not what’s on there but what’s not on there. Really gets you thinking.

@@aureliano_37 Because of how RYM works, albums tend not to be ranked by how really good they are, but how uncontroversial they are relative to their quality. As such, if you know a bit about music from the last four decades, you'll realise a lot of the albums presented here are niche or downright obscure. For example, Nirvana's Nevermind is generally considered the best and most important album of 1991. However, because of how popular it is, it does have a small hatedom that's still enough to drag it down. Meanwhile, Loveless is unanimously considered the best shoegaze album ever. Thus, it ranked higher, even if it's only really popular amongst the shoegaze crowd and doesn't have massive mainstream appeal.
@@SynGirl32i mean i get what your saying. There are people who are like ‘oh this is really popular I don’t like that much’ but i mean your point with loveless is just dumb. Even if it’s got less appeal & is more niche does that make the music contained in it inherently worse off? Both are amazing albums, I personally call nevermind a 10/10 which I think rarely and loveless would be a 9 for me. But loveless is a pick that makes sense for the year. You could make this argument with every year. it’s literally one pick and there’s gonna be so many great albums missing
@@FlavioPiconeNah, the Space Oddity song is great for sure, but the whole album is no true 1969 contender. I had expected to see Low or Heroes on this list, though.
its so cool to see how music progresses as you hear a part of a song in 1979 and then over 3 decades later its being completely transformed as just another sample in the song
“progresses” yeah progression is not sampling, look at harmonies or any other musical metric, rock wasn’t progressive if you consider actual music criterias
@@ART_IS_EVERYTHINGit definetely is, since doing more things in music counts as progression, it doesn't matter if its good or not, its still progression (and this case its something really good, just listen to Since i left you by the Avalanches to see how much artistic possibilities are made by sampling)

dumbest statement, last 60 years were not even innovative, music got restricted on homophony, you are completely ignorant about classical music, imagine saying classical is similar sounding, you dont have ears to even differentiate between palestrina to bach to wagner to stravinsky, but it is expected sometimes of rock fans, they dont know music but want to pretend they have good taste by listening obscure pretentious bands
@@funtimes8296 No, music was always evolving and some periods of time were extremely rapid. The transition from high baroque to classical era music was a drastic shift - streamlining music to be less contrapuntal. The classical to romantic era shift was marked by a big development in expression and harmony. Then the biggest shift of all happened from 1890-1920. In that 30 year period tonality was stretched to it's limits and new kinds of brutalism, modernism, atonality etc. evolved. NONE of that is reflected in the music on these recordings because it was never commercially successful. The developments in popular music are huge but they are very different and much more simple on a compositional level. It's in the realms of timbre and rhythm that popular music really developed the variety of it's expression.
That's crazy like how new instruments and new records technologies change all the music landscape from the 60's. This for this video, it's a good way to explore old artists releases

Life is all about tasting and finding new stuff to enjoy, enjoying both new and old tastes you haven't tasted before. Don't be afraid to explore. Great list all around.
I love the entire Beatles discography. People get so up in arms when Sgt. Pepper's or Abbey Road don't make lists lol I'm just happy when I see Revolver mentioned. Surrealistic Pillow and The Vevelt Underground came out the same year as Sgt. Pepper and I'd say I personally enjoy those albums a bit more.
right? and it's not like those albums aren't highly rated as well. i think the beatles will be just fine if they're #2 or #3 for a couple of years while another equally fantastic album takes the spotlight.
the transition from all the jazz and classical to black sabbath was truly a moment
Big fans of jazz! Love Black Sabbath!!
The best albums of all time, and sure I am missing some, and sure the order is really hard to know:
( I Probably don't know a lot of albums, but those who mention some I did know so I guess I know enough).
Forever Changes - Love 60s
Buffalo Springfield Again - Buffalo Springfield 60s
Live Rust Concert - Neil Young 70s
Decade - Neil Young 70s
Tim - The Replacements 80s The 2023 remixed album is so great
Let it Be - The Replacements 80s
Pleased to Meet Me - The Replacements 80s
Don't Tell a Soul - The Replacements 80s
Astral Weeks - Van Morrison 60s Groundbreaking.
Moon Dance - Van Morrison 70s
Moments - Boz Scaggs 70s Unknown but so much better than Silk Degrees. And his second album has an unbelievably greatest version of "Loan Me A Dime" with D Allman.
This Years Model - Elvis Costello and the Attractions 70s
Get Happy! Elvis C and the Attractions 70s
Heat Treatment - Graham Parker and the Rumour 70s
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie 70s
Revolver - The Beatles 60s On every album, I'm a Lennon lover. There are so many songs by Paul that I don't like (yes I know who contributed what for most any song) that the Beatles albums do not stand as tall as for the average Beatle fan.
Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan 60s
The Doors - The Doors 60s Maybe the best debut? I am not really into their other records.
Best of the Smiths Part I - The Smiths 90s I like them a lot but just don't know each album that well.
The X Album - Lloyd Cole 90s
Where you Been - Dinosaur Jr 90s
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Wilco 2001
Pet Sounds - Beach Boys 60s
Are you Experienced - Jimi Hendrix 60s
Banana album - Velvet Underground and Nico 60s
Never Mind the Bollocks - The Sex Pistols 70s
Avalon - Roxy Music 80s
Eponymous - R.E.M. 80s
Aliens Lanes - Guided By Voices 90s
Talk Talk Talk - The Psychedelic Furs 80s
A Hard Days Night - The Beatles 60s Not a bad song. Why so low?
My Aim is True - Elvis Costello 70s
Shazam - The Move 60s
I'm Still in Love with You - Al Green 70s
Music from Big Pink - The Band 60s
The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle - Bruce Springsteen 70s
Happy Trails - Quicksilver Messenger Service 60s
Zuma - Neil Young 70s
I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One - Yo la Tengo 90s
My Favorite Things - John Coltrane 60s
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis 50s
Child is the Father to Man - Blood Sweat and Tears 70s
Doolittle - The Pixies 80s

Pretenders - The Pretenders 70s
Highway 61 Revisited - Dylan 60s
Sea Change - Beck 2002
Odelay - Beck 90s
Marshal Crenshaw - "Eponymous" 70s
My Maudlin Career - Camera Obscura 2009
Viva Hate - Morrissey 90s
Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea - PJ Harvey 2000
Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen 80s His best. I sort of feel I like about 2 songs per album, and usually not the anthems.
Warehouse: Songs and Stories - Hüsker Dü 80s
So - Peter Gabriel 80s
Californication - RHCP 90s (this is a questionable pick, not sure why?)
Sky Blue Sky - Wilco 2007
14 songs - Paul Westerberg 90s
Alien Lanes - Guided by Voices This is great!
Blue Oyster Cult - debut
Classical: many albums
Jazz: Some albums by John Coltrane Blue Train, A Love Supreme, My Favorite Things.
My least favorite albums of all time that were very popular. This doesn't mean I hate them. I really mean this, cross my heart:
Abbey Road - The Beatles - The worst Beatles album and George Martin disliked it too. The White Album is not all that good but better.
Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones. I don't get this. Songs are OK, none are great.
OK Computer - Radiohead
The Wall - Pink Floyd Their worst album.
Best music in a movie. Much better than The Last Waltz and better than the Beatles' "Hard Day's night" is Neil Young's "Live Rust". Neil Young's "Live Rust" does his hits and some better versions of a few songs than the originals.
Movies with good soundtracks: I haven't about this before, so I'll say:
A Bronx Tale, Almost Famous
Not really that good: Pulp Fiction. I like Lonesome Town, Girl You'll be a woman soon, Misirlou, Lets Stay Together but hate Flowers on the Wall and Son of A Preacher Man is not a good Dusty Springfield song.
Yeah i like that stand to 🥸

The 70s were great but it’s the most overrated decade for music imo
@@x.pescobard3216 Don't forget all the Nu metal and Post grunge era that took place in those years
@@x.pescobard3216 That's fair but my main problem with the 00s is that all the good albums are completely unrelated. Every other era had entire genres scenes and movements worth of great music, but in the 21st century apart from rap and some tiny niche microgenres all the great music is just a selected few from a ton of different genres scenes you can't really point to any trend or anything that says "wow that was a great time for X"
This really shows how insanely innovative the late 1960s were for music.
Edit:
Some people in the replies said that I overstated the musical influence of the late 1960s due to the flaws in the RYM algorithm. Since many RYM users don’t listen to old music, it’s not a perfect choice for finding a general consensus on albums released before the late 1960s.
I agree with this sentiment to some extent, as I recently discovered some much earlier songs that I enjoy (albums weren’t very popular back then), such as Guitar Boogie by Arthur Smith from 1945, That’s All Right by Arthur Crudup from 1947, and Dust My Broom by Elmore James from 1952.
However, it is worth noting that the late 1960s was a very powerful time for music. It gave us Pet Sounds, The Velvet Underground & Nico, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles (aka The White Album), Abbey Road, and In The Court of the Crimson King. Each of these make strong contenders for the greatest album ever made.
Admittedly though, I may have drawn the wrong conclusion from the sudden musical shift in the middle of the video. Just wanted to clear that up.
Maybe because the drugs idk

The 60s. Not only were Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton all active at that time, they were in the same fucking band. And that's just for starters.
I love how MBDTF and In The Court Of The Crimson King were both chosen, and also how Power (the sample) and 21st Century Schizoid Man (the original) were the songs playing for their respective album.

yeah, while all the artists you mentioned are great, it should be noted that pretty much all of them are rated quite highly on the website. a lot of them have albums (in some cases quite a few albums) that maybe came 2nd or 3rd place for certain years. it's of course unfortunate to have to pin a bunch of great albums and artists together for certain years because it'd be nice to give them all their flowers, but that's just the result of doing a best album of each year list. i recommend anyone who feels like this list was lacking in any way to actually check out the website and scroll through the charts for each year, and you'll likely be a lot more satisfied.

A list that completely surprised me (in a positive way). I don't agree with all the choices (which is absolutely normal) but it's a consistent and high-quality list. There are some albums that I don't know at all and others that I only know "in passing", but the mere 5 seconds that I listened to these albums "opened my appetite" to listen to them. Highlight that my favorite band (Pink Floyd) is represented with 3 albums, including the superlative "animals" which is sometimes a little undervalued in comparison to "wish you were here", "the wall" and "dark side of the moon". It is also worth noting that the "kings" of progressive rock King Crimson are equally represented with 3 albums. And also Radiohead, also with 3 albums. Finally, I highlight Stevie Wonder's album "songs in the key of life", which is, in my opinion, the best double album in the history of pop/rock music.

2:35 1950 to 1951 is such an underrated transition
2:50 Jazz used to rule the world
Crazy how much has changed. It’s really a shame how it’s become almost a joke to most mainstream audiences.
@@Henryduckfan63 I wouldn’t say that- I suppose it depends how we define “mainstream”. As a younger person who listens to almost exclusively jazz, most responses are either people going “yeah I like *x thing that is barely jazz* a lot myself” (nothing against those people but… pat methaney?) or “huh. Yeah I don’t really know much about it.” It’s generally regarded as a mysterious and somewhat classy genre if not one undestood by most people nowadays.
@@Henryduckfan63 i don't think a single person has ever expressed their opinion that jazz is a joke, atleast not without completely clowned for it.
It's sad how quickly jazz faded out of public consciousness
Now it's jizz
My opinion (which is objectively correct in every way, obviously):
1956: Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley

1981: Rush - Moving Pictures
1982: Michael Jackson - Thriller
1983: The Police - Synchronicity
1984: Prince - Purple Rain
1985: Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms
1987: Guns ‘N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
1988: Traveling Wilburys - Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1
1991: Nirvana - Nevermind
1992: R.E.M. - Automatic for the People
1993: Nirvana - In Utero
1994: Soundgarden - Superunknown
1995: Oasis - (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
1996: Sublime - Sublime
1998: Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
2001: The Strokes - Is This It
2002: Eminem - The Eminem Show
2005: Tally Hall - Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum
2006: Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
2013: Arctic Monkeys - AM
2014: Pink Guy - Pink Guy
2016: BADBADNOTGOOD - IV
2017: Mac DeMarco - This Old Dog
2021: Olivia Rodrigo - Sour
I agree with you much more

@@HEDGD11 some of it’s okay, but a lot of it is hot garbage
Also I put the Eminem Show as the best of 2002, a rap album. I also agree with To Pimp a Butterfly and Igor being the best albums of 2015 and 2019 respectively
I respect your opinion, but I'd like to add that Purple Rain would have been Number One for 84 on RYM if it wasn't a "Soundtrack" album since those are weighted against Studio Albums.

Such a great timeline of music history- also neat to see which parts of each decade are aging best and are best remembered
Out of all The Beatles song they could’ve picked, they went with “Yellow Submarine”. Their music credibility took a massive hit with that.
Not back in the day but today maybe. It’s a good song but not anywhere near the best ever.
It's the perfect title song for the movie.....wait for it.....YELLOW SUBMARINE!!
it's a great song

Who’s a Beatle Hater here? No one said anything bad towards the Beatles themselves, just that this was a weak song to pick for them when there was so much better songs from their great catalog to choose from.
Really glad that Karajan, João Gilberto, John Coltrane, Joy Division, The Smiths, Aphex Twins, Radiohead, and DOOM were all featured. Pretty much perfectly sums up my music taste

I love how it's jazz for a decade and then BOOM-Beatles and everything is different after that.
Oh wow thank you for this amazing video! I got so many good recommendations from it. It's overwhelming. It's gonna take me a while to catch up on these, especially the 70s, 90s, and 2000s ones. Ants From Up There is also amazing and I never heard of it before.
As of 15/08/23, the list has changed quite a bit. Here are the new #1 best albums for some of those years. (No longer adding from 1909 - 1950)
1968 > Beatles - The White Album (overtaken Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland)
*1971 > Marvin Gaye - What's Going On (overtaken Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV)*
1998 > Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Airplane Over the Sea (overtaken Outkast - Aquemini)
*2002 > The Fire This Time (overtaken Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights)*
2013 > Kanye West - Yeezus (overtaken Ichiko Aoba - 0)
2014 > Swans - To be Kind (overtaken Freddie Gibbs - Piñata)
*2016 > Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition (overtaken Frank Ocean - Blonde again)*
2021 > JPEGMAFIA - LP! (overtaken Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert)
Damn I love Blonde but overtaking AE is crazy. Yeezus valid tho
1961 Black Sabbath ? change to 1971 ( I see you did, my pleasure )
Im not sure if im happier Blonde is now there or sad Danny isn't part of the list
i think attrocity exhibition is more good i know blonde reach to your emotion but atrocity attach to your experience and how danny can rap on any sound
Yeezus overtaking Ichiko Aoba is a wild shift 💀
2013 honestly should’ve been Daft Punks, Random Access Memories. Exquisitely produced original music (something they didnt do much before as a lot of what they did was sampling), working with some of the best around, Nile Rodgers, Todd Edwards, Giorgio Moroder, Julian Casablancas, Pharrell Williams and a few more i wish i could remember off the top of my head.
If you start there 1986 should have been Master Of Puppets
YOU DARE SUGGEST A… *POPULAR* ALBUM BE ENTERTAINED ON RYM? THEY ARE NO SIMPLETONS DONT YOU KNOW?!
Absolutely! Nile Rodgers laid down some absolutely NASTY grooves. An absolute virtuoso!
Solid choice. That album made my year.
One of my favorite things about this list is not what’s on there but what’s not on there. Really gets you thinking.
💯
8:15 you used the wrong version bud, but Twin Fantasy is my favorite album of all time. It’s perfect
the transition between 1950 and 1951 is unbelievably smooth
1956= Elvis Presley
1965= Highway 61 Revisited
1968= The White Album
1969= Abbey Road
1971= What's Going On
1982= Thriller
1984= Purple Rain
1991= Nevermind
1998= The Miseducation Of Lauryn
LZ iv absolutely bodies master of reality and its not even my favorite zeppelin album
@@andiaz8837 Master Of Reality is great but yeah LZ IV slaps it
This is way better
This is the one!!
Great list we'll done and 1991 was Nevermind google it this guy is just a hater.
Early 90s: Hey, RYM, are you okay?
RYM: Yeah I'm fine
Mid to late 90s: RYM are you sure?
RYM: Yeah yeah, no problem
00s: Seriously RYM, you have an issue
RYM: Everything is okay, there is nothing wrong with me
2010s: Jesus christ RYM what is wrong with you?
RYM: *screeches*
I don't get it?
@@aureliano_37 I think it's just RYMers like depressing stuff.
"this is not a phase mom!"
@@aureliano_37 Because of how RYM works, albums tend not to be ranked by how really good they are, but how uncontroversial they are relative to their quality. As such, if you know a bit about music from the last four decades, you'll realise a lot of the albums presented here are niche or downright obscure. For example, Nirvana's Nevermind is generally considered the best and most important album of 1991. However, because of how popular it is, it does have a small hatedom that's still enough to drag it down. Meanwhile, Loveless is unanimously considered the best shoegaze album ever. Thus, it ranked higher, even if it's only really popular amongst the shoegaze crowd and doesn't have massive mainstream appeal.
@@SynGirl32i mean i get what your saying. There are people who are like ‘oh this is really popular I don’t like that much’ but i mean your point with loveless is just dumb. Even if it’s got less appeal & is more niche does that make the music contained in it inherently worse off? Both are amazing albums, I personally call nevermind a 10/10 which I think rarely and loveless would be a 9 for me. But loveless is a pick that makes sense for the year. You could make this argument with every year. it’s literally one pick and there’s gonna be so many great albums missing
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT PUTS DAVID BOWIE IN THIS KIND OF VIDEOS OH MY GOD
i hoped to see space oddity in the 1969 section of the video....
@@FlavioPiconeNah, the Space Oddity song is great for sure, but the whole album is no true 1969 contender. I had expected to see Low or Heroes on this list, though.
Of ALL the songs from Beatles' Revolver, you had to choose that one.
Overused?
Funny has hell tho
Yellow submarine is a masterpiece
Best song on the whole album
Tomorrow Never Knows was a better choice
Best album of year outside US and UK.
love it, goes on the list
@@rymcharts rush boutta dominate a huge part of the list
a Black person came up with this you can tell: 1950's almost every year and no Johnny Cash or Buddy Holly!
its so cool to see how music progresses as you hear a part of a song in 1979 and then over 3 decades later its being completely transformed as just another sample in the song
“progresses” yeah progression is not sampling, look at harmonies or any other musical metric, rock wasn’t progressive if you consider actual music criterias
Why don't you have a Snickers, grandpa. Your low blood sugar is making you grumpy again.
Which song? You mean 1969s 21st century schizoid man being sampled in kanyes power? Pretty cool.
@@ART_IS_EVERYTHINGit definetely is, since doing more things in music counts as progression, it doesn't matter if its good or not, its still progression (and this case its something really good, just listen to Since i left you by the Avalanches to see how much artistic possibilities are made by sampling)

Music has changed 50 times as much the past 60 years than it did the previous 300
Don't know about that. So much music 300 years ago has been forgotten more or less. Recording tech wasn't available then.
@@elias7748 It's true. For hundreds of years it was just similar sounding classical music. Once everyone hears everything and technology increases it makes way for more innovation and quicker changes.
dumbest statement, last 60 years were not even innovative, music got restricted on homophony, you are completely ignorant about classical music, imagine saying classical is similar sounding, you dont have ears to even differentiate between palestrina to bach to wagner to stravinsky, but it is expected sometimes of rock fans, they dont know music but want to pretend they have good taste by listening obscure pretentious bands
@@funtimes8296 No, music was always evolving and some periods of time were extremely rapid. The transition from high baroque to classical era music was a drastic shift - streamlining music to be less contrapuntal.
The classical to romantic era shift was marked by a big development in expression and harmony. Then the biggest shift of all happened from 1890-1920. In that 30 year period tonality was stretched to it's limits and new kinds of brutalism, modernism, atonality etc. evolved.
NONE of that is reflected in the music on these recordings because it was never commercially successful.
The developments in popular music are huge but they are very different and much more simple on a compositional level.
It's in the realms of timbre and rhythm that popular music really developed the variety of it's expression.
